Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
No published experience exists with prucalopride during breastfeeding. However, the manufacturer reports an unpublished study that indicates a relatively low amount of drug in breastmilk. Until more data become available, monitor the breastfed infant for diarrhea.
Drug Levels
Maternal Levels. The manufacturer reports an unpublished study in 8 healthy lactating women who were weaning their infants and given prucalopride 2 mg daily for 4 days. Plasma and milk samples were collected at predose (day 1 and 4), and at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after the dose on day 4. The dose to the breastfed infant was estimated to be 1.74 mcg/kg daily, which is about 6% of the weight-adjusted maternal dose.
Infant Levels. Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
